Recently my PC has experianced a fair bit of slowing down, everything takes a lot longer to load. When i go to the task manager under performance the CPU is almost always on 100%. Under Processes, their are to app, opensite.exe and IAMAPP which alternate between each other at a CPU usage of 100%/ Plz help

opensite.exe, could be some sort of spyware / adware, grab Lavasoft's Ad-Aware program, update it to the latest info, and scan away...

www.lavasoftusa.com I believe, don't go to any other site to get it because it might be a spyware version etc.

you could also kill that process if you wanted to, although if its a well crafted spyware then you'd have a hard time to get rid of it.

beware, add adware can scan things that may not actually be adware, so dont just go deleting away

Also, when your computer is loading up, press Ctrl, Alt, Del when your desktop is loading up, you most likely see dogy programs loading, in which, msconfig in the run, unlike the programs that you don't want to start up, like quick time player, and so forth. Also, ad ware is lett, I got it, fround around 250 spyware crap.
